No affiliation other than I saw this on the interwebs. For those that don't know, Leander is a suburb outside northwest Austin.

If you compare the size of the Cat to the pink car it doesn't look like it is big enough to be a Coug.
Awesome! That's my neck of the woods. Here kitty kitty.
Looks like the shape of one, but on the small side...

It looks as if the motion sensor triggers an outside light in the driveway across the street. Would a house cat trigger the sensor from across the street? Might be legit.
Wouldn't be surprising. We saw one several times that hung out on the preserve when I worked there. Found one of its kills as well.
- looks awful small to me- especially the neck & head. Almost feel like you can see some stripes/spots, especially on the inside front right leg. Could be some distortion..
I'm no expert but it sure as hell looks like an aoudad... er, mountain lion to me. The tail is pretty damning and it's too big to be a house cat when compared to the car or bed around the tree.
zooguy - which preserve are you referring to? Balcones Canyonland? If so, that is pretty close to this subdivision.
It's my friends neighbor I got it this morning i doubted but it looks absolutely legit it's a newer neighborhood off of a bunch of big acreage tracts. I believe it's legit
Looks like a small lion to me... likely young female.

Yes, BCP.
Get him to measure the tree ring...
Saw a young female upclose this past weekend at the Tiger Creek Sanctuary outside of Tyler. Looks pretty similar, especially the tail. I do think the one I saw though may have been crossed with a spider monkey though.
About this size.....
Isn't BCP off limecreek? This is closer between Baghdad and lakeline by 2243
Ha maybe I will. Then there will be me caught in thier ring with it's own story. I'll text her it's a few houses down from my sons friend
The eastern part of BCP is close to 2243. Just glancing at the map, it doesn't look like there's much development between BCP and this subdivision (but I'm not super familiar with that area).
Your right it does stretch there.
It's in a new development. They said the mulch circle is right at 4ft

A female will range from 5-7' tip of nose to tip of tail
Keep in mind the standard mulch circle for young trees is 5-6' wide. Can't tell crap about nearby objects with that wide angle lens.
That community is close to several large canyons (i.e. Bloody Hollow) near Grand Mesa west of Lakeline Blvd.. There have been reported sightings in the area over the years. That being said, I have lived on a ranch, near this location, my whole life and never seen one.
Wife mentioned this to me when I got home from work today. Told her I needed to check Texags first before I believe anything.
Am I getting this correct that this is a new far west subdivision? Andy connected to a good amount of hill country? If so that makes sense.
Also wonder if they have deer problem

There's the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve (local to Travis County) and the Balcones Canyonland National Wildlife Refuge (South of Lago Vista).
I run trails in that area. Lots of newer houses, and greenbelt area. Seen coyotes, fox, and lots of pigs in the area.
Pretty cool there's a big cat roaming around.

Looks like a 'burbcat. Probably drives a minivan.
What are the statistics for sightings east of i35?
Friend posted an old article about a cat being killed in Rockdale, but just the dead cat in the back of a pickup without any faces of people.

Just the description of the photo alone tells me it's a fake.
Ursus has weighed in on here multiple times that anything east of 35 is unlikely and the reported "confirmed" sightings are suspect, at best. I'm sure he can clarify.
Rockdale cat is Legendary!
All these trail cam threads, and we finally get the goods from a ring doorbell. Cheers to you urban sprawl!
